@TilenGenov @dawson_t @katherineaimeee @kclgeography @VisitPitcairn Cool @TilenGenov so you finally came around and study real whales? Enjoy!

Only 0.87% of all whale pregnancies involve twin fetuses, but very few (< 1 in 500) remain viable as birth approaches... and there are zero known instances of twins being born and surviving.

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…

And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

[Christian Ramp @RampChristian]

Simple! Do not publish in their journals anymore!

27 avril. Aujourd’hui, ça fait précisément 20 ans que je travaille au @LeDevoir, d’abord embauché comme commis à la rédaction encore aux études, puis comme journaliste vigile, puis en Économie pendant 4 ans, puis en Environnement depuis 2012. Je dirais presque que ça passe vite!

Fewer than 350 North Atlantic #rightwhales remain and ~70 of them are reproductive females. With their 2023 calving season having begun, researchers are closely monitoring to see if their offspring can yield an improvement in their populations.

It is. The whale in the middle is H626 BBR. Also known as Gaspar.
